Learning off the Beaten Path. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Image embedded from Life.com. Sixty nine years ago today, my great great uncle received word of the attack on Pearl Harbor from a place that would change the course of history - he was at his desk as Superintendent of West Point. Image embedded from Life.com. To an aide. Respect was never lost, and in fact, lives may have been saved, as an audible "General" could have drawn additional fire from the enemy.

http://www.sarahedson.com/2012/09/littlewonder.html

Learning off the Beaten Path. Monday, September 3, 2012. Along with a wealth of powerful new learning opportunities, I know we're going to encounter hurdles, growing pains, and moments (mobs? Of resistance. Acutely aware of the challenges ahead, I logged into my email this morning to find this note from my seventy-one year-old dad. Darnit if it didn't make me well up. Here's hoping those little wonders never fade. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Watershed Moments of Learning.

http://www.sarahedson.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Learning off the Beaten Path. Monday, May 28, 2012. History is still in the making right here and I want you to see all sides of it.". General Robert Eichelberger to his wife, Emmaline. 9 September, 1945. I've written about my uncle before. He was second in command to General Douglas MacArthur, was superintendent of West Point when Pearl Harbor was attacked, made the cover of Time Magazine. But there were those marks. The words "See memoirs," a check mark, some squiggly lines, then. I was with him".

Learning off the Beaten Path. Monday, September 9, 2013. Below is the speech I gave this evening at the opening ceremony of our school year. Some who know me know that I suffer from ridiculous stage fright. Really. Irrational, hands-shaking, completely senseless stage fright. In fact, when Mr. Brock suggested that I speak to you all of you, I wanted to sit him down and say, “Stephen. Brock. Dunn. What. Are you doing to me? I thought you were my friend. I will. 8221; The President of the United States sai...

http://www.sarahedson.com/2014/09/a-far-away-reminder.html

Learning off the Beaten Path. Thursday, September 11, 2014. Rofound global impact of that day. And as somber an anniversary as this is, I'm looking forward to meeting with my students today. They were one year old when the attacks happened. And I want to be sure they grasp why this simple white plate on the other side of the planet would stop someone in their tracks.

http://www.sarahedson.com/2013/11/priceless-discovery.html

Learning off the Beaten Path. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Every year I introduce my students to the StoryCorps. Project. Diving into a treasure trove of recordings of everyday people sharing stories of love, loss, struggle, humor, and wisdom is a joy and one of the most powerful catalysts for empathy development I've found. I challenge my students to listen, to connect, and to reflect on the media used and how it impacts each message. I "Favorited" it. If only for the awesome new job title. Given the coun...

Learning off the Beaten Path. Sunday, November 16, 2014. Learning that lives online lives on. In 2013, a friend shared on Facebook his family's June ritual of "the annual burning of school papers.". As a former student, I can empathize with the simultaneous feelings of exasperation, catharsis, and celebration. And yet, as a current educator and learner, I can't help but feel sad about this sight. School, education, learning. shouldn't and doesn't have to be this way. Fewish, I would guess. To date, this ...
